13. We destroyed the
generations before you when they did wrong; and their Messengers (from Allah)
came unto them with clear proofs (of His Sovereignty) but they would not
believe. Thus do We reward the guilty folk.

14. Then We appointed you
viceroys in the earth after them, that We might see how ye behave.

It is commanded that We have established this
manner in the world that the disobedient people are loosened, and for causing
to understand them about the Right Path, the Messengers (peace be upon Them)
are appointed from them. When even then, they do not refrain from wicked deeds
and their eyes are not opened, any heavenly misfortune is sent down on them and
they are ruined.

According to the same established order, O the
people of Arab: Listen to it and cause to hear the entire world that We
destroyed many generations and folks before you, because they had gripped up
their loins on tyrannizing and did not refrain from wickedness and immortality.

But it did not happen at once; moreover, at first;
Our Messengers (peace be upon them) used to come unto them with Our Revelations
and showed them clear proofs, so that they should know that really; they are
Messengers of Allah Almighty. Then when notwithstanding, they did not believe
and remained entangled in their inebriety, then Our wrath was sent down on them
and they were ruined. It is custom with Us to punish the guilty people.

After their destruction, now We have peopled you on
the earth. We shall observe; whether you adopt the rebellion also like them or
straight way; go forth on the Right Path, for which Our Messenger (grace,
blessings and peace of Allah on Him) has guided you.
